About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to get an business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we require a personal guarantee. need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
